I did most of what was mentioned here, but I'll list what I did.
No spread sheet was necessary. Everything I did was in the EasyConfig window. It's as simple and click, select and save.
- Disabled Parking Lights with DRL (This one was a bit unusual. I believe all 2020 Explorer's as well as most other Ford models have this disabled by default, but the 2021 Explorer, Ford pickup trucks and I think the Escape, all have this enabled by default from the factory. Basically all the lights, aside from the headlights, come on when the DRL is on and/or when the car is not in park. I suppose maybe it's enabled for safety purposes? It just seems unnecessary in my opinion, and when I noticed it, I was very pleased to see that Forscan was capable of disabling it for me).
- Headlight Switch Position (I changed this setting to "Last Known" instead of "AUTO". It now keeps the switch on my last setting instead of always defaulting to AUTO.)
- Disabled double honk (car normally honks twice when you exit with key fob while engine is running)
- Disabled hyperflash (added LEDs to rear turn signals)
- Disabled lights coming on during remote start (attracts less attention when warming up during cold mornings)
- Bambi mode (allows fog lights to stay on with high beams)
- DRL With Turn Signal (allows the Daytime Running Light strip to stay on with the turn signal)
- DRL with Fog Lights (allows the Daytime Running Light strip to stay full brightness with fog lights on. This is only if the full headlights aren't on. DRL still goes to half brightness with headlights on.)
As you can see, I'm a fan of automotive lighting. I like to tinker with things to have it looking and performing exactly how I want. I wasn't aware of Forscan when I bought my Explorer, and was absolutely ecstatic when I realized what the program was, what it was capable of, and how low the price was. Huge thank you to the developers of Forscan.
